Experience history on your doorstep, funded by your local council

Activities free with your admission! *
Normal entrance prices apply.

Go time-travelling for the price of a coffee! Explore a Stone Age farm, a Celtic village, a Roman villa, and Saxon meadhalls on our 10,000-year timeline, and get hands-on with free ancient skills and crafts activities. Follow our seasonal children’s trail, and discover everyday life in the ancient past at Hampshire’s #1 historic site — as voted on TripAdvisor!

This weekend, experience a great local day out in Hampshire for a fraction of the regular entry cost. With all activities included in your entry, you won’t find better value than this! Perfect for families and visitors of all ages, our relaxing outdoor site is fully accessible and dog friendly.

To book your discounted ticket, simply choose the 12th or 13th of October and select the 'East Hants resident’ ticket option.

This weekend’s discounts are generously funded by the East Hampshire District Council as part of the government’s Grow Up scheme. We’re delighted to be able to give back to our local community with this offer!

Visit Butser Ancient Farm

  • Find out what everyday life would’ve been like in the ancient past

  • Explore a 10,000-year timeline of ancient homes, all faithfully reconstructed from UK archaeology

  • Get hands-on and learn an ancient skill like spinning or carving chalk as you explore our open air site

Please be aware many of our guided activities and demonstrations are delivered by our wonderful volunteers and may be subject to change on the day.


Annual Passholders get free admission to the farm any day we’re open for general admission — you only need to visit twice before you’re quid’s in! Learn more.

DOGS: Please feel free to bring your dogs with you! We just ask that they are well-behaved and kept on leads at all times.

REFUNDS: If we aren’t able to open the farm on the day of your visit, you will of course be completely refunded. Unfortunately in any other circumstances we aren’t able to offer refunds.

COVID-19: We’re still being careful, and will follow the government advice at the time. We’re a mostly-outdoors site, and encourage people to mask indoors if it makes them more comfortable. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have been asked to self-isolate when you’re due to visit, please stay at home and take care of yourself.
